Hey guys...
It's been a while (ehhh 5 years?) since i've thought about building a comp... but recently i've just had the urge to upgrade... anyways... I have the mobo/cpu picked out...
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131642
ASUS Rampage III Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115223
Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition Gulftown 3.33GHz 6 x 256KB L2 Cache 12MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80613I7980X
But i'm having a hard time understanding the specs of the MOBO. Specifically the memory section. If you look at newegg's mobo link. It says for the memory... DDR3 2200 (O.C.) does that mean it handles the DDR3 2200 ram + overclocking? or can it handle the DDR3 1600 overclocked to 2200?
Anyways if anyone has suggestions of a good set of ram to go with that setup i'm all ears! please help!
Thanks,
David
